J.Crew has outfitted a big portion of my closet...thanks largely in part to Virginia Tech's "J.Crew sale" that the student government holds every semester. Twice a year, the big ballroom in the student center is filled with boxes and boxes of J.Crew clothes, shoes, and accessories--from the previous season but still new and packaged. And everything is discounted BIG TIME! (Needless to say, I was a HUGE patron of the J.Crew sale during my days at Tech). Like two years ago, I got this $255 Sophia long silk dress for 10 bucks...10 bucks!
The J.Crew sale was like the highlight of the semester for me...seriously, I would mark it on my calendar the moment I found out the dates. The sale lasted a week...I would go everyday to see if they put new stuff out (which most of the time they had). I got way too much enjoyment from rummaging through box after box and finding perfect pieces that I could get for like 75% off. Thanks to the sale, I found the perfect jeans--the Hipslung style-- that after several years are still my favorite pair.
Since I'm not in college anymore, I miss being able to have practically the whole J.Crew collection discounted at my fingertips for a blissful week each semester. My love for J.Crew has only grown since then. I love opening the mailbox to see the most recent catalog with its great styling (especially the more recent ones shot in Paris and Rome). And yea I have the sale page bookmarked on my work computer...and i check it...daily. Their new Spring collection just has me drooling in front of the computer babbling to myself, "I want! Me likey! Pretty shoes!" Some of my faves:
